Kaiju Radio # 3: Visual Kei Retrospective

On December 13, 2011

Podcast: Download

On todays show I ramble on about one of my favorite musical categories- visual kei. I know you know the big names like x japan, gackt, miyavi, malice mizer, and dir en grey but have you heard of daizy stripper, an-cafe or the all girl group danger gang? So even if you are a frequent visitor to harajuku and shinjuku, are all up on your cosplay of every member of phantasmagoria you may (or maybe you can school me) find a new band on today’s show to worship faun over and memorize their bio.
If you don’t want to be a weeaboo (weebo?) then its time to take you back to school. Take a listen enjoy the sounds and learn a little something about the beauty of the visual aesthetic that permeates this definitively Japanese musical tradition.
There’s no interview so its all exposition and musical madness. I’ll be back next week though with a very special guest that you don’t want to miss.
If you have any suggestions complaints or you’re just lonely hit me up at kaijuradio@gmail.com.
